Byron is “in love” and “was overwhelmed with the quality of the women.” If you can slog through the self-congratulatory star-fucking and self-promotion, you’ll discover that E! Online gossip columnist Kristin’s column sometimes includes actual information. And at least she writes in coherent sentences, unlike her E! colleague Ted “What?!” Casablanca. Anyway, Kristin, formerly known for no particular reason as Wanda, reports on her encounter with The Bachelor 6‘s Byron, who told her, “I am in love. I miss her and I think about her constantly, and I’m so happy to have found her through this experience.” (Tangentially, maybe this is why all five Bachelor relationships have failed: the producers force the couple to stay away from each other for months. That’s like jumping straight to marriage.) Kristin also reports that Byron was thrilled with the grade-A pickings the producers provided him with: “I was overwhelmed with the quality of the women.” He attributes the possibility for relationship success to age, saying, “Young people don’t have any idea of what they’re looking for yet in life. They’re still trying to find themselves. When you’re older, you can really appreciate the person, because it’s more like, Wow, it took forever to find you.”
